SVCC, along with many similar institutions, saw a decline in enrollment during this review

period. As described in other portions of this year’s review, the loss of satellite programs at

WACC and Highland Community College greatly impacted the total enrollment numbers.

The CJS Program at SVCC does assist entry-level and promotional candidates in furthering

their career aspirations.

The program has maintained an admirable 50.9% fall-to-fall retention rate during the 5-year

period reviewed.

Cost-effectiveness: Is the program cost effective? Does the program require additional

resources?

The program currently is cost effective and no need for additional resources has been

identified.

The conversion of some of the available courses to online format has been accomplished

since the last review. Making all CJS courses available online is being recommended during

the next 12-24 months.

The full-time faculty member regularly attends professional association meetings and

maintains a liaison relationship with the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board.

With the number of county jails and the federal and state correctional facilities in the Sauk

Valley service area, there should be a greater demand for this program. This program should

be the focus of increased marketing. Currently, this program has a very low enrollment

history during the past 5 years. Only 3 students have applied for a certificate in this program

during this five-year period of review.

For this program to be viable, there needs to be a substantial increase in student interest as

evidenced by enrollment and completion of the program.

Cost-effectiveness: Is the program cost effective? Does the program require additional

resources?

Because the classes in this program are all offered online, expenses are kept to a minimum

and there is no major outlay in terms of funding.

The entire certificate program is now offered online. There needs to be a marketing emphasis

placed on this program. To be effective, this will require some entrepreneurial visits to all

correctional facilities within the SVCC service area. One visit, to the Thomson Federal

Correctional Facility has already been scheduled. Attempts will be made to explore the

feasibility of offering on-site classes at the correctional facility to attract additional

enrollment.

The full-time faculty member regularly attends professional association meetings and

maintains a liaison relationship with the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board.

The Multicraft program is growing along with the need for qualified technicians in local

industry. Many students have left the program before completing a degree or certificate to

take a new job in the field. The new two-day-a-week program should help improve the

completion rate for degrees and certificates.

Cost-effectiveness: Is the program cost effective? Does the program require additional

remain up-to-date with their professional training and/or certification?

The multicraft program has been completely reorganized since the last program review. The

program can now be completed in two years with students attending classes two days a week.

This allows students to work and receive on-the-job training three days a week. This change

has been well received by local industry and new improvements are now being driven by a

very active workforce council from local industry.

The program has had a machine tool emphasis added as requested by local industry.

Program adjunct faculty are hired from local industry and the area lead faculty member is an

IEEE member and receives continuing education from seminars and webinars offered by

IEEE.

The need for administrative assistants with office skills and office exposure for students

justifies the programs. Employers are contacting SVCC to employ students who are in the

OAS programs. Enrollment at SVCC has dropped with growth of economy.

Students are completing the degrees and certificates for a start to a new career and/or to move

up in the company or business. Students working full-time are taking longer than 2-years to

complete their degrees, but they are determined to complete their degree.

Majority of the students enrolled in the program are completing the degrees and certificates.

Some have chosen not to complete because they have gained full-time employment and

scheduling night classes not available. Others find gen ed requirement is a struggle for them.

With the education and completion of degrees and certificates, students are marketable in the

local community and businesses.

Cost-effectiveness: Is the program cost effective? Does the program require additional

resources?

The cost of the program is high because of instructor salary being an instructor with several

years of experience. The program has only one instructor and hours have been reduced to

compensate for better cost effectiveness. Enrollment numbers are down which also is a direct

effect to the cost of the program. Resources needed will be up-dating software and

technology, computer and calculators, etc. Marketing has been reviewed to help improve

student enrollment.

Since last program review, up-dates for computer software and equipment have been

completed. Classroom has been moved and modernized for students.

Work with CIS and OAS to combine courses for core curriculum have been established and

implementation planned for 2018. The three OAS Degrees will be combined along with CIS

to have one degree with emphasis in specific courses.

Continued work with employers and local companies to be sure employees’ (students) skill

requirement are met and students are equipped with skills applicable to the job. Advisory

committees, meetings, visits to employers businesses, and employers visits to the college

keep instructor, employers, and students’ knowledge of what is required for employment.

Faculty completed conferences, workshops, webinars, and reviewed new materials to stay

current with trends in the workforce..

Academic Degree

(discipline) Computer Science/Technical Track (A.S. 840)

Summary

Objectives: What are the objectives of the course and sequences of courses (such as

developmental through college-level) in the discipline? To what extent are they being

achieved?

The objective of the program is to prepare students to transfer into a bachelor-level program in

Computer Science with a technical as opposed to a business emphasis. There are three courses

in the discipline.

First semester (fall): CIS 150 (preprogramming logic)

Summary of objectives: Students will be prepared for programming by learning to develop

algorithms using flowcharts and pseudocode. Students will use programming features such as

variables, assignment statements, selection statements loops, subprograms with parameters,

and arrays.

The fundamental purpose of CIS 150 is to acquaint students with algorithms and programming

logic to help them progress more successfully through the next two programming courses.

Second semester (spring): CIS 207 / Third semester (fall): CIS 208 (C++ programming and

data structures)

CIS 207-208 fulfill the IAI requirements for CS 911-912.

Summary of objectives: Students will learn to program in C++, using variables, assignments,

selection statements, loops, functions, arrays, structs, classes and objects (including object-

oriented design, constructors, and inheritance), pointers, and recursion. They will design and

use abstract data types including linked lists, stacks, queues, and binary trees. They will design

and analyze classic algorithms for sorting and searching. They will use structured program

design and conform to guidelines for programming style throughout.

The objectives for the courses are being achieved.

Need: It is expected that there is a continuing need for courses in each of the academic

disciplines, but is the array of courses offered appropriate to meet the needs of students and

support academic programs?

Yes.

CIS 207 and CIS 208 correspond to IAI CS 911 and 912, which are the primary two courses

needed to prepare students for transfer. IAI strongly urges that students take both courses

together at the same institution. CIS 150 is a prerequisite course that prepares students for

Page 52: PROGRAM REVIEW REPORT 2016-2017 Sauk Valley Community …€¦ · Data Entry/Microcomputer Applications, General Computer Information Systems: Microcomputer Applications (A.A.S. 076)

taking the C++ courses more successfully. Students themselves report that it is a very useful

course for helping them progress through the subsequent programming courses, and the

consistent enrollment and the success rates of students in CIS 207 bear that out.

Cost-effectiveness: What steps can be taken to offer courses more cost effectively? Are there

needs for additional resources?

The program is breaking nearly even financially, but an important step toward greater

profitability would be to increase the number of majors. Specific plans for doing so include

merging a programming course in mathematics (MAT 150) with CIS 207, and having

instructors visit high schools regularly to increase the visibility of the program.

There is no need for additional resources at the present time.

Quality: Based on the results of assessment and other information about courses and

sequences of courses in the discipline, what steps need to be taken to update or improve

instruction? Describe any programmatic achievements already achieved or are planned for

the future.

Based on assessments given at the end of CIS 208, instruction for individual courses is

successfully meeting its goals. Programmatic plans for increasing the number of majors are

described in the answer above.

Transfer Courses: Generate a list of 1.1 transfer courses within the discipline and action taken

to obtain current articulation agreements.

Sauk Valley Community College (506) Academic Year 2016 - 2017

Academic Degree

(discipline) Mass Communication (A.A. 614)

Summary Objectives: What are the objectives of the program and sequences of courses (such as developmental

through college-level) in the discipline? To what extent are they being achieved?

The program seeks to prepare students to enter the workforce or transfer to four-year institutions to

pursue a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication with an emphasis in journalism/news editorial or

photojournalism. The sequence of college-level courses reflects this objective to some extent via

English courses in Basic News Writing, Basic News Editing, and Creative Writing. However, as noted

below, the program could better achieve its goal by recommending two specific courses.

Need: It is expected that there is a continuing need for courses in each of the academic disciplines, but

is the array of courses offered appropriate to meet the needs of students and support academic

programs?

First, the suggested course sequence for the Mass Communication program does not currently include

the course Introduction to Mass Communication (SPE 181). Instead, there is an undefined 3 semester

hours of “Personal Development.” This should be replaced with Introduction to Mass Communication.

The course is very accessible because it’s currently offered online every fall by an instructor who

recently completed a multimedia faculty development course. Second, for one of the Humanities/Fine

Arts courses required for the A.A. degree, students will be encouraged to take a photography course

from a recently hired full-time art instructor.

Cost-effectiveness: What steps can be taken to offer courses more cost effectively? Are there needs for

additional resources?

Totals from FY 2012 to FY 2016 indicate that this program has operated at 6% under budget and has

netted $331,082 in income for the College. Revenue increased from $31,711 in FY 2012 to $103,960 in

FY 2015 and $99,099 in FY 2016 due to reductions in faculty salaries and benefits. Over the past year,

those sections of the basic course, Introduction to Oral Communication (SPE 131), with the lowest

enrollment have been removed. Additional resources for online course development may be needed

over the next few years.

Quality: Based on the results of assessment and other information about courses and sequences of

courses in the discipline, what steps need to be taken to update or improve instruction? Describe any

programmatic achievements already achieved or are planned for the future.

Of the 19 students who declared a major in Mass Communication from FY 2012 to FY 2016, 14 earned

their degrees, for a 73.7% completion rate. Until last year, all theater and communication courses were

labeled with the confusing and outdated prefix SPE. Theater courses have since been relabeled THE,

and, effective Fall 2017, the communication courses will be labeled COM. We have made our courses

more accessible by offering online sections of Introduction to Oral Communication (SPE 131) and

Introduction to Mass Communication (SPE 181). A full-time faculty member with a Ph.D. in

communication studies was hired in 2015 and has recommended further ways to update and improve

ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE PROGRAM REVIEW SUMMARY REPORT

Required ICCB Program Review Report

Sauk Valley Community College (506) Academic Year 2016 - 2017

Academic Degree

(discipline) Speech Communication (A.A. 610)

Summary Objectives: What are the objectives of the program and sequences of courses (such as developmental

through college-level) in the discipline? To what extent are they being achieved?

The objectives of the Speech Communication program are to 1) provide students with the theories,

concepts, and skills necessary to become more effective speakers and listeners in personal and

professional situations, and 2) build a foundation for students’ general education and prepare them for a

bachelor’s degree in communication studies or related fields. The sequence of college-level courses

achieves these objectives by first exposing students to various types and aspects of communication in

Introduction to Oral Communication (SPE 131). Students are then able to delve deeper into the

discipline’s core aspects in Interpersonal Communication (SPE 151), Group Discussion (SPE 161),

Introduction to Mass Communication (SPE 181), and Public Speaking (SPE 231).

Need: It is expected that there is a continuing need for courses in each of the academic disciplines, but

is the array of courses offered appropriate to meet the needs of students and support academic

programs?

Introduction to Oral Communication (SPE 131) is required of many SVCC students. Accordingly,

2,304 students have enrolled in the course over the past five years. Besides on-campus day and night

sections and off-campus dual-credit sections, an online section is also now being offered. Beyond SPE

131, 154 students (136 online) enrolled in the other SPE courses to satisfy major or other degree

requirements.

Cost-effectiveness: What steps can be taken to offer courses more cost effectively? Are there needs for

additional resources?

Totals from FY 2012 to FY 2016 indicate that this program has operated at 6% under budget and has

netted $331,082 in income for the College. Revenue increased from $31,711 in FY 2012 to $103,960 in

FY 2015 and $99,099 in FY 2016 due to reductions in faculty salaries and benefits. Over the past year,

those sections of the basic course, Introduction to Oral Communication, with the lowest enrollment

have been removed. Additional resources for online course development may be needed over the next

few years.

Quality: Based on the results of assessment and other information about courses and sequences of

courses in the discipline, what steps need to be taken to update or improve instruction? Describe any

programmatic achievements already achieved or are planned for the future.

Until last year, all theater and communication courses were labeled with the confusing and outdated

prefix SPE. Theater courses have since been relabeled THE, and, effective Fall 2017, the

communication courses will be labeled COM. We have made our courses more accessible by offering

online sections of Introduction to Oral Communication (SPE 131), Interpersonal Communication (SPE

151), and Introduction to Mass Communication (SPE 181). A full-time faculty member with a Ph.D. in

communication studies was hired in 2015 and has recommended further ways to update and improve

the quality of the Speech Communication program. Steps include:

Page 59: PROGRAM REVIEW REPORT 2016-2017 Sauk Valley Community …€¦ · Data Entry/Microcomputer Applications, General Computer Information Systems: Microcomputer Applications (A.A.S. 076)

Revising the SVCC catalog’s program description and sequence of courses to better represent

the purpose and depth of the program.

Updating each SPE (soon COM) course’s description and outline to ensure their adherence to

IAI codes and to better reflect the course’s current objectives, topics, and assessment practices.

Working with academic advisors to help promote the utility of a Speech Communication

degree and communication courses.

Improving communication between on-campus and off-campus faculty to ensure instructional

consistency and encourage part-time instructors to participate in the assessment process.

ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE PROGRAM REVIEW SUMMARY REPORT

Required ICCB Program Review Report

Sauk Valley Community College (506) Academic Year 2016 - 2017

Academic Degree

(discipline) English (A.A. 602)

Summary

Objectives: What are the objectives of the course and sequences of courses (such as

developmental through college-level) in the discipline? To what extent are they being

achieved?

The primary objectives of the program are to help students develop proficiency in writing

college-level expository and research-based essays and provide them with instruction in

analyzing and responding to literature to supplement their general education requirements

and/or pursue English degrees at transfer institutions.

These goals are being achieved at rates consistent with the college’s other programs’ goals.

Need: It is expected that there is a continuing need for courses in each of the academic

disciplines, but is the array of courses offered appropriate to meet the needs of students and

support academic programs?

The majority of Sauk students pursuing associate’s and transfer degrees are required to

complete ENG 101 (Composition I) and ENG 103 (Composition II). More than 6,000 students

have completed these courses over the past 5 years. Approximately 18% of these students have

completed the courses online.

Given the number of students declaring English majors and opportunities to earn humanities

credits elsewhere at the college, the number of literature offerings has been sufficient for our

students’ current needs.

Cost-effectiveness: What steps can be taken to offer courses more cost effectively? Are there

needs for additional resources?

The program has generated more than $800,000 net income for the college over the past 5

years.

Faculty members in the program would like to have more input in how students seeking help

with writing for all Sauk courses are tutored in our Learning Commons area and online. We

would like to see at least one full-time faculty member serve as a liaison/tutor in the Learning

Commons each semester to facilitate communication between tutors and faculty members and

train qualified students to serve as online tutors, saving the college (not just the program)

significant money over time since we are currently offering NetTutor online tutoring at $29

per hour.

Page 61: PROGRAM REVIEW REPORT 2016-2017 Sauk Valley Community …€¦ · Data Entry/Microcomputer Applications, General Computer Information Systems: Microcomputer Applications (A.A.S. 076)

We would also like to reduce the enrollment cap for each ENG 101 and ENG 103 section from

23 to 20. Each student in ENG 101 and ENG 103 composes a number of essays that add up to

a minimum of 3,000 words for the semester. Addressing each student’s level of writing

competency and providing feedback for improvement is labor intensive, and to afford each

student the level of feedback required during the writing process can be a struggle in these

skill-based courses. Since the program has a consistent record of working under budget and

generating revenue, and since our main goal in teaching these courses is to improve each

student’s level of writing competency, we feel this is a justified request

Quality: Based on the results of assessment and other information about courses and

sequences of courses in the discipline, what steps need to be taken to update or improve

instruction? Describe any programmatic achievements already achieved or are planned for

the future.

Assessment results indicate that having more consistent approaches to tutoring students

seeking help with writing and more information regarding the tutoring sessions shared with

faculty members the students submit the work to for grades would improve the overall success

of student writing at Sauk. Allowing a full-time faculty member from the program to work

with tutors in our Learning Commons area each semester would help achieve these goals.

Reducing class sizes would also help instructors better meet the needs of each student.

Transfer Courses: Generate a list of 1.1 transfer courses within the discipline and action taken

to obtain current articulation agreements.

Student & Academic Services Area Business Services

Major Findings and Improvements/Modifications to the Area

Provide a brief description of the function of the program, its strengths and challenges, and any

quality improvements or modifications made since the last program review.

The Business Office has made strides with trying become less manual and use our electronic

systems. We have reduced the amount of paper by no longer printing greenbar reports and

emailing students current term bills. The purchase of Banner Self Service for HR and

Finance has reduced the staff by one and allowed for less paper to be passed through the

office by making it online. In addition, it will reduce the amount of re-entry by allowing

information to be directly entered into Banner rather than on a paper form which is then re-

entered into the Banner system. The Business Office will always have to stay on top of any

changes with Federal regulations which can possibly impose more work on staff when it

comes to proposed changes on the students 1098-T tax form. The Business Office continues

to try to work more efficiently but does have the challenge of new staff that will need to be

trained in current process. As they become more familiar with their positions it will allow

our office to become better cross trained but will have to maintain our internal control

compliance.

Student & Academic Services Area Dual Credit

Major Findings and Improvements/Modifications to the Area

Provide a brief description of the function of the program, its strengths and challenges, and any

quality improvements or modifications made since the last program review.

The function of Dual Credit is to allow qualified high school students the ability to begin

their college career while still attending high school. The Dual Credit Office strengths include

academic enrichment to the students who participate and allowing them to begin their college

journey at a quality institution for a fraction of the cost. It also shows our community that we

are here for them in multiple facets, not just what many perceive to be the traditional way of

attending college. Challenges to the program include ever changing standards by the State

and lack of State funding. Being a smaller district means that the number of qualified

instructors is not as large as it would be in a larger community, thus making it more

difficult for smaller schools to gain access to college-level courses in their own buildings.

Lack of State funding has pressed on all areas of academics within the State and this is no

different. With less funding comes less staff to work with the program. Improvements and

modifications being made to the program this academic year include the creation of many

online forms and information to reduce the amount of spending on paper/printing as well as

the amount of time chasing said forms. Students and parents interested in the program will be

able to access answers to many of their questions though the website being developed with

our technology department.

quality improvements or modifications made since the last program review.

The goal of the program is to increase enrollment and awareness of SVCC’s many offerings

to students and community. The Student Recruitment office maintains a good working

relationship with area high school staff and counselors. We seek multiple avenues to recruit

during community events in our district, as well. Our reduced budget is a challenge but we

are seeking alternate funding sources and working closely with the Marketing office to

combine our efforts.

Student & Academic Services Area Student Activities

Major Findings and Improvements/Modifications to the Area

Provide a brief description of the function of the program, its strengths and challenges, and any

quality improvements or modifications made since the last program review.

Student Activities provides opportunities for students to be involved and strives to provide

students with an enjoyable college experience. While offering social, cultural, educational,

and recreational programs, Student Activities encourages students to use leisure time

productively by participating in student clubs and organizations, attending Student Activities

and other college sponsored events, developing leadership abilities, and developing

connections that can provide needed support.

The biggest improvement to Student Activities has been the way events and opportunities

have been promoted to students. The support from faculty, staff, and Marketing Department,

has been essential and has resulted on increased student awareness of the opportunities

available to them. Since work, homework and driving back to campus prevent students from

attending student activities events or joining a student organization, Student Activities has

continued to collect information from students about the best time to offer programs to try to

offer events at a time that is convenient for them.

Unfortunately, due to some partner community organizations losing funding from the state,

the Disability Expo was not offered in 2016. Student Activities plans to continue its

educational programming regarding diversity and disabilities by collaborating with the

SVCC’s Disability Support Office and the Association for Disability Awareness Club.

Over the next five years, it will be critical for Student Activities to assist the college in

reducing expenses and increasing stream of revenue. One way this can be accomplished is for

the Student Activities Coordinator to invest time and energy to build connections with

community agencies to co-sponsor events and connect with businesses to keep informing

clubs about fundraising opportunities. Referrals from Sauk staff who collaborate with outside

agencies and businesses would be appreciated to increase collaborations. Outside revenue

streams will serve to supplement the Student Activities budget.

Overall, Student Activities programs strengthen campus and community relationships and

reinforce a positive image for the college. Student Activities will continue to offer

experiences that enhance self-esteem and assist students in developing skills that help them

become productive citizens and community leaders.
